SASA Interns Receive Academic Accolades
Updated: Jun 6, 2023
Congratulations to SASA interns Andrew Bielecki and Summer Sekula!
We would like to congratulate two interns on receiving academic awards for their contributions to the field of Ancient Studies. Both Bielecki and Sekula volunteered as interns in the Access Team, working towards the SASA goal of making resources accessible to both students and scholars.
Andrew Bielecki is the recipient of the Kathryn F. Furcolo Award at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. This award is for “outstanding interns in unpaid public service or governmental internships.” The award included a cash prize, which Andrew has decided will offset expenses for a summer study abroad trip to Oxford.
Summer Sekula has been awarded one of three Mentorship Program Award Scholarships from the College of Liberal Arts, University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) for her outstanding work as an intern with SASA. Additionally, she has also been selected by the UNLV History Department to be the recipient of the John S. Wright Memorial Scholarship.
Thank you to our interns for your hard work, and congratulations again! SASA is very fortunate to have had your support over the past year. We look forward to seeing all your future achievements!
It’s great to see these interns recognized for public service and meaningful work in improving access to academic resources. Andrew using his award to support his Oxford study trip and Summer receiving two scholarships also show how these opportunities can open doors for further learning. Crossy Road is a casual arcade game where progress comes from learning through each attempt, which makes the connection to gaining experience and moving forward feel natural.
